Looking at him I realized something. That I now love the way my skin heats up when he's near, the tingling feeling that crawls over my skin when he touches me. Now I no longer want to smack his smirks off his face,but instead I want to kiss it away, smirking to myself as I hear him moan, knowing that I am the only one who can do this to him. I want to leave my own marks over his neck, showing that he was mine and that no other female should dare to look at him. When had I started to feel this way and why haven't I noticed it before? Blackwood's do not care about these monsters! But I no longer think that of them, do I? ---------------------------- What does it feel like to betray everyone you love without even realizing it? According to Rane Blackwood it sucks balls. She didn't plan on being kidnapped by the one person she hates the most that night. She didn't plan to be taken to his castle or to be treated like a royal person while there, but she did plan one thing. To kill the heartless man that thought nothing of others, to break down his walls and get inside. What she didn't plan was him breaking down her walls, or showing her a man that she could maybe fall in love with, which could break a promise she vowed to keep.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
